Rain

I write a lot about rain. It's coming in from the west now. I can see dark clouds on the horizon out there and the sunset is obscured.

Rain is so important to us here. We capture water from our roofline and use that for most of our needs. We are soon to begin using our pond for water, which I don't think will hurt anything. Everything we drink or cook with is filtered through a Berkey.

Without the rain, we cannot live out here. There are those who are one step removed from my situation that think because they depend on the utility company to deliver their lifeblood, that they will survive longer than we will without rain.

I do not know. But I pray for rain constantly and praise God when it approaches.
